Children Rescued From Waterlogged Delhi Underpass

Three children were rescued from a waterlogged Minto Bridge underpass in Delhi after heavy rains. An autorickshaw was also trapped, but no injuries were reported. The underpass is notorious for flooding during monsoons, with a past incident in 2020 resulting in a fatality. Rescue efforts were prompt.

Three children were rescued from a school bus trapped in the waterlogged Minto Bridge underpass in northwest Delhi on Tuesday morning, according to officials.

An autorickshaw caught in the same underpass was also safely extricated, with no injuries reported. Swift action by rescue teams prevented any harm.

The infamous Minto Bridge underpass has a history of monsoon-related waterlogging; in July 2020, a man drowned when his mini-truck became stuck. Heavy rains on Tuesday left large parts of Delhi affected, with varying rainfall recorded across different observatories.
